I couldn't be prouder of our Ludum Dare game! It's inspired by Alan Wake, but entirely its own thing. A FREE 40-page solo campaign card game, the game explores the difficulty of resisting greed & missing knowing what's "enough" in fantastical mines. beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io/into-the-dep...

Looking for feedback! These are expansions on ideas that occur during the game dev process. This one is a little different because I went off on a rather large tangent. How do we feel about this? Pro-tangents or anti-tangents? What else would you expect from these? 🎲✂️ #gamedev #indiedev

TTRPG character sheet designs are a continuum from a tax form with an occasional fantasy name, to an absolute piece of art but where do my hit points go #ttrpg #dnd

What's greater, your amount of unplayed games or your amount of untested prototypes? #gamedev #indiedev 🎲✂️
